A few weeks ago, we reported that Metaxas & Sins’ flagship Papillon reel-to-reel tape player was finally seeing proper North American availability, thanks to a new deal with Reel Sound Distribution. Relatively speaking, we would most certainly be quite remiss if we didn’t amend that story with a closer look at two other top-tier Metaxas & Sins products that are also now seeing North American distribution debuts — namely, the Perambulator turntable and the Combobulator tonearm — and thus, that time is now. Read on to learn more about how mind-blowing both the Perambulator and Combobulator truly are. . .

We always love it when we see how top-tier turntable companies evolve their product lines — though, in the case of the UK stalwart manufacturer Michell, perhaps we should rephrase that with the altered spelling of evolv. What we mean by that is, Michell has just introduced their latest turntable offerings — one duly dubbed the Revolv turntable, and an upgraded version of their well-respected Gyro table. Read on to see more about the features and specs for both the Revolv and Gyro tables accordingly. . .

We’re often asked by younger/newer AP sitegoers who have budgetary concerns where they can get started in this ever-widening turntable universe of ours, so we like to suggest a number of entry-point options where they can come join the analog party at their pace.

Read on to see how the TT2 might fit into your own starter-system plans, and/or those of someone you know. . .
